False Intel Iran Hits the World News: Big Time.

(CNN) -- Iran likely has enough material to make a nuclear weapon, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Admiral Mike Mullen told CNN's John King, March 1st, on his Sunday morning TV show "State of the Union."

Iran's ambassador to the U.N., Mohammad Khazaee, defended his country's nuclear program in response and challenged U.S. allegations.

"It is unfortunate that we are hearing the same... unwarranted and groundless allegations" Khazaee wrote the chairman of the U.N. Security Council.

Khazaee also called U.S. allegations against Iran on terrorism "equally baseless and absurd."

AFTER A SPECIAL REPORT PUBLISHED LAST WEEK, here, which was fueled by this specific piece of news that first appeared Feb. 20th, here, political black ops has hit the news big time, promoting the lie that Iran has enough uranium to make a nuclear bomb, implicitly thus promoting the idea that Iran wants to make a nuclear bomb and the even greater fear, Iran would use this bomb against us: False Intel Iraq has now become False Intel Iran.

THE PRINTED ARTICLE ON THE WEB was honest, at least, in tracing back the source of this claim, to ISIS (Institute for Science and International Security), but on the TV news show it said the source of this claim was the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Commission), saying it was the IAEA's claim that Iran had enough enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon.

Big Difference

One Big Difference is the agency that is affiliated with the United Nation and the ones who got it right about Saddam having no WMD (the IAEA) and the other is nothing more than non-profit group that was spreading the major lies of Saddam having WMD. (described in this article as a 'think tank.').

It's not a think tank. It's not a "U.N. nuclear watchdog agency," (as it was described Feb. 20th). It's a spin master, a black ops spin master that was firm in promoting Saddam Hussein having WMD for years before the war: False Intel Iraq.

Now ISIS has started beating the drums of war for False Intel Iran. Mainsteam media reports it. Important political and military leaders quote it.

QUOTE FROM ARTICLE: "Mullen's comments on Iran came days after a Washington think tank said Iran had enough uranium for a bomb.

The Institute for Science and International Security released a report in late February concluding that Iran has reached "nuclear weapons breakout capability."

The report was based on an analysis of data from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency.

However, an IAEA official who asked not to be named cautioned against drawing such dramatic conclusions from the data, saying Iran's stock of low-enriched uranium would have to be turned into highly enriched uranium to qualify as weapons-grade material. That hasn't been done, the official said."

Within one hour there are over 400 news items in all the major mainstream news, from around the world, that the head of the U.S. military now declares Iran has enough uranium for a nuclear weapons -- the fear of nuke WMD -- all coming from a story that started out small, Feb. 20th (that was a distortion and false spin on IAEA data) = False Intel Iran

Now the Admiral confirms that data, like the Bush White House confirmed all the false Intel they fed reporter Judith Miller and others.

Black ops: Make up the data. Get the press to report it. Comment on the press reports, agreeing with the false intel: We have the same people doing the same thing, again: False Intel Iraq; False Intel Iran.

But we should not let ourselves get fooled again. Going to war with Iran for the excuse of WMD is a lie.

 

 

Fortunately and a rather amazing difference of opinion on such an important national and world issue, on the same day the Secretary of Defense said: ""I think that there has been a continuing focus on how do you get the Iranians to walk away from a nuclear weapons program? They're not close to a stockpile. They're not close to a weapon at this point," he told NBC on on another Sunday TV Talk show, details.

Hopefully he'll point out his difference of opinion directly to the Admiral.

Have no doubt about it: Forces in the country want war with Iran

IAEA's Web Page on Iran.

The United States "will seek to end Iran's ambition to acquire an illicit nuclear capability and its support for terrorism," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told the U.N. Security Council last week.

Iran has repeatedly said, and the letter echoed, that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful and the country has not and will not seek to acquire nuclear weapons.

 

 

China's reporting doesn't mention ISIS at all. It, more honestly, quotes from the IAEA report.

Although maybe not 'more honestly,' at all since it quotes one of the negative statements of the IAEA, not IAEA's overall conclusion that Iran was cooperating OK.

NOTE: As of this date by laws, there are no international laws or U.S. declarations that the pursuit of nuclear power is illegal. If that's the policy we want, then make it the law.

So, why all the black ops?

Why such dramatic difference of opinion?

Because USA neocons and Israel want war with Iran, as they have declared a million times.

If having nuke weapons is the problem, let's invade North Korea. They could nuke Alaska tomorrow.

SPEAKING HOPEFULLY FOR THE FUTURE : U.S. outreach to Iran could aid IAEA probe, say IAEA head, El Baradei, article.

 

 

Obama Sets 2010 Timetable for Iraq Withdrawal

Broad support for Obama Iraq plan, but some complaints too.

 

Uncertainties, questions, but an emphatic change of direction.

House Republican Minority Leader John Boehner described the plan as responsible while remaining flexible, details.

Leading congressional Democrats complained the withdrawal plan was not aggressive enough. "I have been one for a long time who has called for significant cutbacks in Iraq," Senator Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader. But when they talk about {leaving] 50,000 troops, that's a little higher number than I anticipated," details.

Obama consistently said during the presidential campaign that he would leave behind forces even after he withdrew all combat brigades. But, sensitive to criticism, the administration plans to call the remaining troops a "transition force," rather than a "residual" one.

This semantics distinctions, and the alleged difference between 'combat troops,' and other troops may not please everyone or be honest. Some generals already talk of not only playing around with such terms, trying to avoid using the word "combat," and "occupation," but military leaders even talk of renegotiating the Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq to allow for troops staying beyond the currently agreed upon deadline for withdrawal.

The dramatic different statements on Iran's nuclear capabilities (first story) shows the generals appear to have their own agenda -- and vocabulary.

 

Obama's Budget Sweeps Away Republican Years

Budget would end three-decade era of Republican economic policy

Budget starts out in Bush debt, pushes sweeping change

White House budget director Peter Orszag explains the numbers, denounces past dishonest accounting, projects improvement. details.

The Obama budget has big ambitions, attempting to address some of the most difficult public-policy problems facing the United States.More than anything else, the proposals seek to reverse the rapid increase in economic inequality over the last 30 years, details.

During his campaign, candidate Obama promised change, and now President Obama is trying to deliver the changes he promised; just that fact alone has impressed many inside and outside of Washington, D.C., details.

President Obama is also putting the cost of the wars back on the books. The Bush White House didn't include the costs of its wars as part of the budget. But now, For the first time, costs associated with the war are put into the budget, bringing an annual $140 billion into the document.

The $3.6 trillion budget pours money into education, transportation and energy. In all, it maps out $500 billion dollars of increased federal spending over the next decade -- and it is fast becoming a bitter fight, details.

The decision to move so big and so quickly on his agenda is shocking some but has positively impressed many. Basic questions and answers, here.

Israel's non-stop propaganda to justify all it's actions as mere "retaliation," is not the reality.
